 Chain surveying can be used when the area to be surveyed is comparatively is small and is fairly flat.  But when the area is large, undulating and crowded with many details, triangulation(which is the principle of chain survey) is not possible.  In such an area, the method of surveying is used.

IIn traversing, the frame work consist of connected lines. TThe length are measured by a chain or a tape and the direction measured by angle measuring instruments. HHence in compass surveying direction of survey lines are determined with a compass and the length of the lines are measured with a tape or a chain. This process is known as compass traversing.

TThe principle of compass surveying is traversing; which involves a series of connected lines. TThe magnetic bearing of the lines are measured by prismatic compass. CCompass surveying is recommended when the area is large, undulating and crowded with many details. CCompass surveying is not recommended for areas where local attraction is suspected due to the presence of magnetic substances like steel structures, iron ore deposits, electric cables, and so on.

AA compass is a small instrument essentially consisting of a graduated circle, and a line of sight. TThe compass can not measures angle between two lines directly but can measure angle of a line with reference to magnetic meridian at the instrument station point is called magnetic bearing of a line.

 There are two types of magnetic compass they are as follows:-  The prismatic compass

8
CCylindrical metal box : Cylindrical metal box is having diameter of 8to 12 cm. It protects the compass and forms entire casing or body of the compass. It protect compass from dust, rain etc. PPivot: pivot is provided at the center of the compass and supports freely suspended magnetic needle over it.  l lifting pin and lifting lever: a lifting pin is provided just below the sight vane. When the sight vane is folded, it presses the lifting pin. The lifting pin with the help of lifting lever then lifts the magnetic needle out of pivot point to prevent damage to the pivot head. MMagnetic needle: Magnetic needle is the heart of the instrument. This needle measures angle of a line from magnetic meridian as the needle always remains pointed towards north south pole at two ends of the needle when freely suspended on any support. GGraduated circle or ring: T his is an aluminum graduated ring marked with 0 to 360 to measures all possible bearings of lines, and attached with the magnetic needle. The ring is graduated to half a degree. PPrism : prism is used to read graduations on ring and to take exact reading by compass. It is placed exactly opposite to object vane. The prism hole is protected by prism cap to protect it from dust and moisture.

 Object vane: object vane is diametrically opposite to the prism and eye vane. The object vane is carrying a horse hair or black thin wire to sight object in line with eye sight.  Eye vane: Eye vane is a fine slit provided with the eye hole at bottom to bisect the object from slit.  Glass cover: its covers the instrument box from the top such that needle and graduated ring is seen from the top.  Sun glasses: These are used when some luminous objects are to be bisected.  Reflecting mirror: It is used to get image of an object located above or below the instrument level while bisection. It is placed on the object vane.  Spring brake or brake pin: to damp the oscillation of the needle before taking a reading and to bring it to rest quickly, the light spring brake attached to the box is brought in contact with the edge of the ring by gently pressing inward the brake pin

 The following procedure should be adopted after fixing the prismatic compass on the tripod for measuring the bearing of a line.  Centering : Centering is the operation in which compass is kept exactly over the station from where the bearing is to be determined. The centering is checked by dropping a small pebble from the underside of the compass. If the pebble falls on the top of the peg then the centering is correct, if not then the centering is corrected by adjusting the legs of the tripod.  Leveling : Leveling of the compass is done with the aim to freely swing the graduated circular ring of the prismatic compass. The ball and socket arrangement on the tripod will help to achieve a proper level of the compass. This can be checked by rolling round pencil on glass cover.  Focusing : the prism is moved up or down in its slide till the graduations on the aluminum ring are seen clear, sharp and perfect focus. The position of the prism will depend upon the vision of the observer.

CConsider a line AB of which the magnetic bearing is to be taken. BBy fixing the ranging rod at station B we get the magnetic bearing of needle wrt north pole. TThe enlarged portion gives actual pattern of graduations marked on ring. NORTH OBJECT B A SOUTH LINE OF SIGHT 90 180 270 0

 It is similar to a prismatic compass except that it has a only plain eye slit instead of eye slit with prism and eye hole.  This compass is having pointed needle in place of broad form needle as in case of prismatic compass.

 1) Centering  2) LEVELING  3) OBSERVING THE BEARING OF A LINE  First two observation are same as prismatic compass but third observation differs from that.  3) OBSERVING THE BEARING OF A LINE : in this compass,the reading is taken from the top of glass and under the tip of north end of the magnetic needle directly. No prism is provided here.

TThe bearing of a line is the horizontal angle which it makes with a reference line(meridian). DDepending upon the meridian, there are four type of bearings they are as follows: 11) True Bearing: T he true bearing of a line is the horizontal angle between the true meridian and the survey line. The true bearing is measured from the true north in the clockwise direction. 22) Magnetic Bearing: t he magnetic bearing of a line is the horizontal angle which the line makes with the magnetic north. 33) Grid Bearing: T he grid bearing of a line is the horizontal angle which the line makes with the grid meridian. 44) Arbitrary Bearing: T he arbitrary baring of a line is the horizontal angle which the line makes with the arbitrary meridian.

18
 The bearing of a line measured with respect to magnetic meridian in clockwise direction is called magnetic bearing and its value varies between 0 ᴼ to 360 ᴼ.  The quadrant start from north an progress in a clockwise direction as the first quadrant is 0 ᴼ to 90 ᴼ in clockwise direction, 2 nd 90 ᴼ to 180 ᴼ, 3 rd 180 ᴼ to 270 ᴼ, and up to 360 ᴼ is 4 th one.

20
IIn this system, the bearing of survey lines are measured wrt to north line or south line which ever is the nearest to the given survey line and either in clockwise direction or in anti clockwise direction.

22
 When the whole circle bearing is converted into Quadrantal bearing, it is termed as “REDUCED BEARING”.  Thus, the reduced bearing is similar to the Quadrantal bearing.  Its values lies between 0 ᴼ to 90 ᴼ, but the quadrant should be mentioned for proper designation.

23
 The following table should be remembered for conversion of WCB to RB. W.C.B OF ANY LINE QUADRANT IN WHICH IT LIES RULES FOR CONVERSION QUADRANT 0 TO 90IRB=WCBN-E 90 TO 180IIRB=180-WCBS-E 180 TO 270III RB =WCB-180 ᴼ S-W 270 TO 360IV RB=360 ᴼ - WCB N-W

24
TThe bearing of a line measured in the forward direction of the survey lines is called the ‘fore bearing’(F.B.) of that line. TThe bearing of a line measured in direction backward to the direction of the progress of survey is called the ‘back bearing’(B.B.) of the line.

FB of line AB BB of line AB (FORE BEARING) A (BACK BEARING) NORTH Θ1Θ1Θ2Θ2 B FB of AB = Θ 1(from A to B) BB of AB= Θ 2(from B to A) Remembering following points: 1)In the WCB system,the differences b/n the FB and BB should be exactly 180 ᴼ. Remember the following relation : BB=FB+/-180ᴼ + is applied when FB is <180ᴼ - is applied when BB is >180ᴼ 2) In the reduced bearing system the FB and BB are numerically equal but the quadrants are just opposite.

26
 Observing the bearing of the lines of a closed traverse, it is possible to calculate the included angles, which can be used for plotting the traverse.  At the station where two survey lines meet, two angles are formed-an exterior angles and an interior angles. The interior angles or included angle is generally the smaller angles(<180 ᴼ ). A B C D

EXTERIOR ANGLE B=BB OF AB-FB OF BC INTERIOR ANGLE B=360 ᴼ-EXTERIOR ANGLE

BBearing of a line is always measured clockwise wrt some reference line or direction. This fixed line is known as meridian. TThere three types of meridian: 11) Magnetic meridian: T he direction shown by a freely suspended needle which is magnetized and balanced properly without influenced by any other factors is known as magnetic meridian. 22) True meridian : T rue meridian is the line which passes through the true north and south. The direction of true meridian at any point can be determined by either observing the bearing of the sun at 12 noon or by sun’s shadow. 33) Arbitrary meridian: I n case of small works or in places where true meridian or magnetic meridian cannot be determined, then,any direction of a prominent object is taken as a reference direction called as arbitrary meridian.
